That Person. Later on… Prologue

It was 2 years ago. . . .

My name is Wazu

15 years old with black hair and black eyes, medium build and height, it was very ordinary man appearance. My parents are common townspoeple living in the Imperial City. I was also an ordinary brother of two cute little sister that adored by poeple around.

However, even such ordinary people like me have a childhood friend of the same age that I can be proud of.

Her name is Aria

She has a gentle azure eyes and blue long hair like the sky.
Her figure is still like a child but there is no doubt that she will become well-balanced beauty in the future. She has calm personality, also kind to anyone without discrimination.

She always smile when with me, but sometime her dark. . . no, it’s not good to speak badly about poeple, let’s stop there. . .

When Aria and I are 12 years old, we promised to each other to be always together in the future. 

I wonder why after my sister found about it, for some reason she seems to always in bad mood. I had a hard time because of that. . .

Opss we were talking about Aria right now.
In age 13, she was appointed by church as a [saint] to subdue the Demon Lord and reluctantly joined Hero party. Why reluctantly? Because Aria herself wasn't eager to go. However, her parents and the poeple around were persuading her to go. I think only me that know about it.

At that time I can’t say anything. . .
Even though someone I love was snatched away in front of my eyes, but when the adults say "it's for the world peace" I can't raised a good objection. From that time I’m always praying for Aria safety everyday.

And then, about two years later. . . just a little more time before my 15th birthday, a news was spreaded around the world.

“The Hero party has defeated Demon Lord”

The world is wrapped in joy.
But I was still full of anxiety until I see Aria for myself. A few weeks after the news, Aria is come back.
Arc de parade was held by townspeople to received Hero party before they reported to the king.

From the dinstance I confirmed Aria figure with my eyes, I’m was feeling relieved from the bottom of my heart. Now I think about it, at that time she was strangely close with Hero-sama.

From Aria’s parents I heard that she was bounded with the report and celebration party in the palace, so I can’t meet her at the moment.

But a few days later, something that I will never forget happened.

That day I was not able to settle down from the euphoria because I will be able meet Aria, I was walking in the town unsteadily.

Casting skeptical gazes at the stalls and restaurants that are full of townspeople who are smile lively with full of happiness. Without realized it I was walking in back alleys.

And then I saw it.
What I saw was. . .

Aria and Hero-sama kissed while avoided being watched in the back alleys . . . .

After that I don’t remember how I can come to my house.
My head is blank, I can’t think of anything. Even when my sister talk to me anxiously, I only can reply it with the word [Ah. . .] or [Well. . .]

Even after I arrived at my room, I’m still can’t cast off the spectacle I just saw from my mind, I don’t know what to do.

After awhile I just noticed that my knees are wet- - -

So, I was crying. . .

The promise we made just will become story from the past. . .

No, I didn’t want to stay in this town anymore. . .

Because there are too much memories with aria in this town. . .

I scribbled a words in the paper and ran away from a house with a little money.
what I scribbled on paper was,

"Please don't look for me, and take care yourself".
"I'm wish for Aria and Hero-sama happiness."

That day, The man who should be celebrating his 15th birthday has disappeared from the Imperial capital while crying.
